I have just ordered this http://road.cc/content/review/177735-bon...-baselayer for wind block. You will see from my picture that my leather has a generous crossover that tucks under the zip and yet I still get a draft so an extra layer of proper wind block may help.

That looks ok, but I suspect it'll still feel a bit draughty as it only has parts that are windproof. As you mentioned before, we don't have to work hard like a cyclist on our bikes, and we're going much faster, so the wind tends to seek out every gap and we're not keeping ourselves warm. But better than no windproof layer at all. Merino wool is also another good material for under layers; as mentioned in your link, it still keeps you warm if it gets wet, so if your biking top layers have seen better days and leak a bit, you can still be comfortable, and it doesn't need to be bulky to work.

i actually only paid £20 for it as I don't really know what I am buying and wouldn't risk £60. But that merino wool sounds a safe spend.
